Regaining Bladder Control in Postmenopausal Women With Osteoporosis

April 12, 2011 updated by: University of British Columbia

Regaining Urinary Continence in Postmenopausal Women With Osteoporosis: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Conservative management for urinary incontinence has been shown to improve bladder control. We are conducting a study of the effectiveness of conservative management for urinary incontinence in women who also have osteoporosis. We hope to find that treatment for incontinence improves bladder control and thereby allows women to be more active and reduces their risk of falling and breaking bones.
